The hardest obstacle I've had to overcome is complacency.

I've worked over four dozen nine-to-five jobs before taking the chance to chase my dream of wanting to become an actor and filmmaker. Growing up in Brooklyn and Harlem, working at jobs like the bus company were great. I had benefits, a great salary, and security. But it wasn't my dream.

Spiritually, I pray and meditate. Emotionally, I challenge myself to be open, honest, and available.

I read a lot, almost anything and everything. I make an effort to use any knowledge I attain and express my opinions even at the risk of being wrong at times.

Most people view health only in the physical sense, but I view it also in the mental, spiritual, and emotional sense.
